Hello,

At the moment I am building my AAVP7A1, but wondered how far to go.
check out this link
I can see rust etc, would that be realistic on a aavp used in oif?
And how about the dust and sand streaks, thats realistic to put on my model right?

thanks for watching,

Boris

As far as rust during OIF, It was to dry in the desert to rust. The track was rust free the whole time due to driving on hardball the whole time. As for dust, It was everywhere. Some time 3 tone vehicles would look like the got new desert paint jobs. And the ususal streak were there. Water, fuel, CLP, coolant, hydro fluid. Hope that helps.

Thanks for your great answer Joe,
Could you or anyone else who wants, be more specific about the CLP, coolant and hydro fluid?
what are these and where are those fluids found on the AAVP-7A1
And where are the fuel fluids found?

thanks guys
